veniences.

Public Service Commission Dismisses
Complaints of Increased Charges.

EFFECTS EIGHT KEN BOliOl'GHS

The Public Service Commission in
session at Hurrisburg in a brief order
dismissed the complaints of the eighteen
boroughs and townships in the metro-
politan district outside Philadelphia,
filed against the Springfield Consolidat-
ed Water Company because of its in-
creased rates for fire protection.

The decision ends four years of con-
troversy over the rates and service of
the company. Consumers began litiga-
tion in the Courts and later the case
was carried to the Public Service Com-
mission, the complaints then being
based on domestic service rates. A
valuation of the property was asked for
and the most complete survey of :'
water company known in the country
followed.

The result was a decision by the Com-
mission some months ago by which the
company was allowed to obtain a 7 per
cent, profit on its investment. This
meant a reduction of :\?>V.i per cent, in
domestic rates.

The Commission, however, alloted a
specified sum as an equitable return to
the company for fire protection and fixed
the water rntes for all municipalities at
$7 for each fire hydrant and $33!) a mile
for all mains connecting these plugs.

The fire hydrant rate was about what
the municipalities had been paying, but.
the pipe mileage rate ran the annual
bills of the municipalities up to 800
and as high as 1(500 per cent, above
former bills.

The townships of Lower Merion, Ab-
ington, Cheltenham and Springfield,
Montgomery County; Haverford, Upper
Darby, Radnor and Springfield, Dela-
ware County; Lansdowne, Sharon II ill.
Swarthmore, Conshohockcn, Rutledgc.
Collingdale, Norwood, Prospect Park,
Kidley Park and Morton filed com-
plnints against the new fire service
rates and asked the Commission to re-
open the case for a readjustment of the
rates. The Commission last week heard
final argument in these cases.

WAR STAMP SALES.

At Narbcrth Post Office there is a
sufficient amount of stamps yet to be
sold to make it imperative upon the
part of our citizens to come forward
and invest in these stamps very liberal-
ly during the remaining weeks of the
present year. A sheet of 20 War
Stamps cost $84.40, for which the pur-
chaser will receive $100 in 1923. Help

INTERESTING LETTER FROM PRESIDENT

NASH, OF THE NARBERTH

CIVIC ASSOCIATION

To the Editor of Our Town:

There are several movements on foot
to establish a fitting memorial in honor
of the Narberth boys who have given
their lives to defeat autocracy. All of
these movements should bo brought
under a central committee as soon as
possible so as to enlist the services of
every organization in the borough.

(/'a reful thought should be bestowed
on the place, the kind and the size of
such a memorial, and if it conies down
to a shaft or a drinking fountain or a
tablet of sonic kind, the design should
be awarded to the winner of a com-
petition. The undersigned has no
doubt that such a memorial could be
made a competition in one of the ad-
vanced classes of the Department of
Architecture at the University of
Pennsylvania, and so produce something
artistic, as well as useful.

At the same time that suggestions for
a memorial are being brought forward,
it should not be forgotten that Nar-
berth has already started a custom
which seems to be more appreciated out-
side the borough than by her own cit-
izens. I mean the tree planting for
men in the service.

There has been prepared by the Civic
Association a beautiful Charter which
will be hung shortly in a public place.
On this Charter appear the name of the
man, the arm of the service he enter-
ed, the donor of the tree planted in his
honor, and the time planted as well a>
location of the tree. If the boy has
given his life for his country a gold
star is placed before his name. An
appropriate plate can be placed on
the tree itself giving further details.
Already in Xarbrook Park and at the
Methodist Church have trees been
planted. Other trees arc being planted
by individuals so that, in time every
boy will be remembered.

Such a custom is not only a beautiful
one as far as honoring our boys, both
those who have died and those who
live, but it is a lasting custom which
will go far to make our town a better
place to live in.

Let us therefore take hold of this
custom already started and see to it
that not a boy is forgotten, and when
they come back and read over the
record on the Charter let none be sad-
dened by seeing no mention made of
his name.

Mention of Narberth 's Tree Plant-
ing has been given in the press of Phil-
adelphia, Washington, Baltimore and
Richmond, and we have just received
the following from a letter received
from Private Alfred L. Cutts. Co. A.
314th Infantry overseas, and addressed
to Mrs. Cutts:

"Narberth must be some place when
the London Newspapers mention if.
Was looking at a 'Daily Mail' the
other day and up near the head of the
paper was a piece about Narberth and
Narbrook Park. It almost took my
breath away. It went on to say that
Narberth had started Tree Planting for
the men who had left town to defend
their country in France, and that there
had been planted as a starter with a big-
celebration attended by hundreds of
people, Narberth being the third place
to adopt the idea (The first place on
the Main Line). Do I have one, or is
it for the fellows who are 'shot up'.'"

It. is fitting that we quote also from
an editorial in one of the recent Phila-
delphia papers:

The Trees and the Hero Memorials.

While the communities of the coun-
try, large and small, aro getting their
bearings as to the character of the per-
manent memorials to tho heroes of the
world war there will be complete una-
nimity as to tho wisdom of formal tree

planting in parks, on highways, boule-
vards and parkways, in and about
schools, public buildings and on college
campuses in honor of those who gave
their all for their homes and their coun-
t ry.

It has been clear, too, for some timo
that the country is decidedly impatient
with the general average of the soldier
memorials that sprang up everywhere
after the Civil War. Tho least, said
about the most of them the better. So,
as the better thought prevails and there
is a demand everywhere for pause and
judgment in selecting the kind of me-
morial that will meet the needs of tho
hour, the immediate desire to do some-
thing at once can well take the form of
tree planting. For *ver a generation
most of us have been familiar with tho
Arbor Day idea, arid it will be very
easy to direct this vital idea into new
channels called for by the proposed sol-
diers' memorials, tree groups and me-
morial avenues.

Curiously enough, Joyce Kilmer, one
of .the militant poets who gave up their
lives for their country, evidently had a
premonitory sense that the tree was to
figure more largely and emotionally in
American life. And it would be fit-
ting, therefore, if, wherever the tree
memorials to our soldiers and sailors
be set up, there should appear in im-
perishable bronze his lovely tribute that
makes the trees, as it were, brothers to
the heroes their greenery will commem-
orate. It runs as follows:

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prcst
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;

A tree that looks,at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

I'pon whose bosom snow has lain;;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me.
But only God can make a tree.

Let's all get together and see that
every boy is listed on the Charter. One
dollar sent to the Civic Association en-
titles the sender to list one name on
the Charter. At the same time it con-
stitutes a pledge to plant a tree for the
boy, the 1 location and date planted to
appear on the Charter.

EDITORIAL

Fireside items arc appreciated by our
ireaders. Surely you can scud us one
or two short local happenings each
week.

In last week's issue we published an
article in which it was stated that the
Home Guards of Narberth have started
a movement which will insure a proper
deception home-coming to our boys who
j-cturn, and the erection in Narberth of
a memorial in memory of the Narberth
men who have given their lives in the
great world war of 1914-1918. :

rians are being rapidly developed by
members of the Home Guard, and your
co-operation will be expected for this
worthy and patriotic cause.

There should be no falling off in
vvorkers at the Red Cross workroom in
»hc Y. M. C. A. Building, on account
<&£ the ending of the war. The work-
room will be open every Monday night
and nil day Tuesday and Wednesday.
Workers are needed as never before.

Tho dospcrato condition of the peo-
ple of tlie war-ridden countries requires
the Red Cross to supply them with
clothing.

Our soldiers and nurses overseas will
*ieed all sorts of warm clothing and
knitted articles.

Are you doing your share to help the
Red Cross continue its great work?

our community has "gone over tho
top" in this very necessary war meas-
ure, a Committee of Fifty representa-
■ ive women of the town is now being
formed to boost the purchasing of these
Stamps which, by the way, is a decided-
ly good investment — the rate of inter-
est on the War Savings Stamps being

XMAS MAIL.

The co-operation of the public is de-
sired in the handling of the Xmas mail.
Observance of the following simple con-
ditions will help:

Fully prepay postage on all parcels.

Address all parcels plainly.

Place name and address of sender on
all matter.

Pack carefully and wrap securely, but
do not seal them, as scaled parcels are
subject to postage at letter rate.

Mail parcels early. They may be
marked, "Do not open till Xmas."

Insure all valuable parcels.

"Merry Xmas," "Happy New
Year," "Best Wishes" arc permissi-
ble additions to fourth class mail.

In order to relieve some of the con-
gestion at stamp window, patrons arc
requested to purchase stamps in quant-
ity during the holiday season. It is
much better to buy 10 stamps at one
time than to come to the window ten
times buying one stamp each time.

By observing these simple regulations
the comfort and pleasure of the Xmas
time may be greatly increased.

To the Editor of Our Town:

The blight of Bucks County justice
came into the young life of one of our
local school boys the other day. Al-
though he was able to prove that on a
certain day he was diligently pursuing
his studies at the Narbcrth School, a
farmer from the benighted county re-
ferred to, swore that tho lad had shot
a lot of the former's chickens in the
vicinity of Doylestown on the same
day. This is long distance shooting that
would put the Kaiser's seventy five-mile
gun to shame. Those Big Berthas can
push a missile a long distance, but are
hardly capable of aiming at a chicken
several miles away and hitting it in
the eye. Ample proof was turuished
that the boy hadn't left Narocrtii on
that day, and furthermore, that he had
never handled a gun in Bucks County,
but ho was fined thirty odd dollars just
the same. Somebody had to pay for the
chickens, and why not ho?

Now that President Wilson has gone
to Europe, perhaps he will bring back
a few more English ideas for Ed. Haws
to copy — something on the order of that
left-handed door contraption.

Now if wo Narbcrth folks had only
pointed out to the President the agony
we have to suffer through Ed's adop-
tion of these imported ideas, ho would
have stayed at home like the humane
man he is. Why worry about the atroc-
ities in Europe when we have worse
right hcref

I am afraid Aloysius Scrub doesn 't
appreciate me and my good works in
behalf of suffering Narberth. When he
assails mc with poetry, he is taking an
unfair advantage because poetry, espe-
cially rotten poetry, is unanswerable.

CUB.

To the Editor of Our Town:

After two months' examination of
the temperature records and a shorter
time for those of rainfall, the Weather
Bureau has decided to establish a per-
manent station in Narberth. To this
end official forms and documents have
been sent to me.

From now on the data will be pub-
lished in the bulletins of the bureau.
Narberth will be the only place on the
Main Line to be represented in the bul-
letins.

C11AS. DECKKR.

To the Editor of Our Town :

The war is not yet over, our men are
still in France; we may have many re-
ported dead when the last casualties are
reported. However, when that time
comes it would be well to name our un-
named streets so as to commemorate
our Heroes and the Great War for Lib-
crtv. In Narbrook we have seven drive
walks and they may be named after
those who took part, or after battle-
fields in France where our boys played
an important part. It is yet too early
to do this, but not too soon to think it
over and plan to this end. We may
have line siif^estions before next May.

The population of Narberth has been
changing so rapidly during the past
two years that there is a constant go-
ing and coming of pupils. The number
of pupils generally enrolled at one time
is

A few years ago the faculty, and
even the President of the School Board
were proud to feel that they knew
nearly every child and family reported
in tho school. This is, of course, no
more possible. The same interest, how-
ever, is yet manifested, the aim of the
school being to study so as to know
the individual child. Patent medicine
dispensing of instruction and penalties
is disapproved of.

All parents are invited, yes, urgently
requested, to come to tho school when-
ever convenient. They should meet
the teachers and frankly talk over the
problem of the child.

On Tuesday, November 26th, the Wo-
man's Community Club held its second
meeting of the season in tho newly
appointed room in the Y. M. C. A. The
school faculty were the guests on this
occasion and ever}- effort was made to
make the afternoon an agreeable one.

Mr. Melchoir, principal of the schools,
addressed the gathering and spoke in
the highest commendable terms of the
club's interest on behalf of the faculty
and their appreciation of this after-
noon 's entertainment.

Mrs. Howard Hoffman and Mrs. G.
Trainer rendered very pleasing instru-
mental and vocal selections. Mrs. Jo-
seph Barclay was accompanist at the
piano.

A group of poems by James Whit-
comb Riley and others by Richard Hard-
ing Davis delighted those present and
were exceptionally well given by Mrs.
Imogenc Chandler Greggory.

Mrs. Hoy E. Clark acted as hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Horton Williamson and
Mrs. W. S. Horna.

The Thanksgiving exercises held on
Wednesday morning were pronounced
by "old comers" as the "best ever"!
The exercises were snappy and brief
'••'t full of the true spirit of Thansgiv-
ing co-mingled with the glee of little
children enthusiastic over turkey and
pumpkin pics.

BOWLING SCHEDULE.

Christmas exercises of tho Narberth
School will consist of two programs.
On Monday evening, December 23rd,
the High School will sing the old Christ-
mas Carols. On Tuesday morning, the
Elementary Department will entertain.
The public is invited to both exercises.
No admission will be charged.

A Junior Red Cross benefit will be
given by tho Sophomore Class on Sat-
urday, December 28th. Tho play is en-
titled "The Oxford Affair."

A Naughty Doll.

Some time since a fond mother rel
turned from an afternoon call and found
her fivelycar-old daughter huddled up
in a big armchair, crying bitterly.

"Why, Bessie," exclaimed the mother,
taking- the little one in her arms, "what
in the world is the matter?"

"Somelin dwedful lias happened," sob-
bed the youngster, nestling closer to her
mother. "I— 1— "

"That's all right darling," coaxingl'y
responded the mother. "Tell me all
about it."

"It was my dolly," was the tearful ey-
planation of Bessie. "She dot away
from me and hreaked a dish in the pan-
trv."

A chaplain, on making his rounds in
the base hospital of a large cantonment,
stopped at the cot of a darky and said :

"Sam how is it that you are in bed
to-day? You were quite well when 1
spoke to you yesterday."

The darky replied: "Well, pahson, ah
do'n was kicked by a mule,"

"What in the name of goodness did
he kick you for?"

"Ah guess ah don fo'got to salute."

NARBERTH, F»A.

Dr. Blise Whitloek Rose, of the Little
House of Saint Pantaleon, will be heard
in Narberth Tuesday, December 10th,
at 3 P. M. in the Y. M. C. A., under the
auspices of the Woman's Club of Nar-
berth.

On the day that war was declared the
founder of this little house was bound
for Strasbourg, and shortly heard the
cries of suffering that echoed through-
out the world — the cries of hurt chil-
dren, of crazed women, of wounded on
the battlefield, the victims of uncivil-
ized warfare — and realized that she
must immediately do all in her power
to help in this great struggle.

Dr. Rose has been right in the midst
of the suffering in Prance and can tell
you interesting stories of the little hos-
pitals that have sprung up all over
France — of the wonderful opportunities
to aid in the reclamation work of these
splendid people at this time.

Each member is urged to keep this
date open and to bring their friends
and listen to one of the most interest-

There .seems to be prevalent an im-
pression that with the signing of the
armistice the need for workers in the
Red Cross has ceased, and many work
rooms are in consequence almost de-
serted. The War Council of the Amer-
ican Red Cross in Washington, feeling
that this is such a serious misapprehen-
sion of the facts, has .just issued ,a
strong [ilea to its members to "Carry
On."

Peace is not yet hero and our men
and their families will need the Red
Cross for a long time to come. But
even when peace does come the Red
Cross will have an enormous work to do.
We must remember that the Red Cross
was founded to aid in the prevention
and alleviation of human suffering :i
times of peace as well as in war. The
appalling suffering anil misery and
destitution of the inhabitants of tlio
invaded districts pass description. Wo
must clothe them, feed them, work for
and with them. AVe do not know in its
entirety what, will be needed, but wo
do know that the urgent needs of the
present are hospital supplies, reclama-
tion of soldiers' clothes and rofugeo
garments in untold amounts. To fur-
nish all these things in time will re-
quire now and in the future the samo
persistent, unfaltering sacrifice of time
and inclination of our whole body of
workers that has characterized them
in the past. Workers may have to
change the character of their work,
some departments will have less to do,
notably that of surgical dressings, but
every one of us is needed at once in
these other departments.

Our men have aided most gloriously
in bringing the victory within our
grasp. But their work will be only half
done if the reconstruction work fails,
and fail it will without the Red Cross
workers.

Over there our men are under orders
to do what they are bid. We are under
orders too, and must do what we are
asked to do, not only what we like to
do. Will you not therefore continue
to work as in the past, and give your
help in any department where it may
bo most needed?

Shall we fail our soldiers and sailors,
our Government, our Red Cross, our Al-
lies, humanity? There can be but ono
reply from every loyal Red Cross work-
er:

"The Red Cross shall not call on us

in vain. The Red Cross shall not fall.'-

Crowded.

After receiving a pocket service book,
a nocket Bible, a pocket album, a pocket
French dictionary and a pocket edition
of the poets, Private Peters hurriedly

editions until I get some pocket addi-
tions." — Life.

The above department should be of the
greatest use to the community, the list eon-
tains the name of every professional man,
tradesman, mechanic, shopkeeper, etc., who
does or can in any way serve bis fellow-
townsman, and who Is progressive enough
to add name to list of Register.

As It Is difficult for those contributing
their time and efforts to the production of
"Our Town" to personally either know or
Interview all such, It would be most help-
ful if those not now found In the printed
list would send in a memo of their names,
address, phone numbers and businesses or
professions for listing. This will cost aa fol-
lows: 10 cent* each Issue for 1 lines; t cents
for each additional line.
